FAQs

Can I use the Save The Cat beat sheet if I only have an idea?
Yes. You can start from a simple premise and use CinemaDrop’s Script Wizard to develop characters, a synopsis, an outline, and then a full script. The beat sheet gives you structure, and the wizard helps you turn that structure into pages you can storyboard.
What’s the quickest way to turn Save The Cat beats into a storyboard?
Once you have a script, you can paste it into CinemaDrop and generate a storyboard of images quickly. You’ll get a shot-by-shot visual plan you can review and iterate on as you refine your beats and scenes.
How does CinemaDrop help keep characters consistent across the whole story?
CinemaDrop is built to maintain consistency across shots by reusing previous outputs as references and by using Elements for characters, locations, and props. As you create more strong reference images, you can reuse them throughout the storyboard to improve continuity.
Should I prioritize speed or consistency when generating storyboard frames?
CinemaDrop includes two storyboard generation modes: a faster, cheaper option for rapid iteration and a slower option designed for stronger character identity lock and higher-quality results. Many creators iterate quickly early, then switch to the higher-consistency mode for key sequences and finals.
Can I turn key beat moments into video clips?
Yes. You can generate video from text prompts, or use image-to-video with start and end frames selected from your storyboard images. This helps you add motion while keeping the look anchored to your established frames.
Can I keep the same voice for a character across multiple scenes?
Yes. Character Elements can include a voice, so you can assign a voice from your library and keep it consistent across the story. You can generate dialogue with text-to-speech and attach it to specific shots.
Do I need separate tools for visuals, dialogue, and sound design?
No. CinemaDrop is designed as an all-in-one AI filmmaking studio where you can generate images, videos, speech, music, and sound effects within the same storyboard workflow. This keeps your beats, shots, and audio organized as you iterate.
